Making big decisions SAVE £2 can be desperately difficult. Often we end up paralysed with indecision, afraid that making the wrong choice.

In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes readers on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus SAVE £2 not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning. Far from being a relic from the past, the distinctive ideas of Christianity, such as freedom, kindness, progress and equality, are a crucial part of the air that we breathe.

ANDY CROUCH ASKS SOME BIG QUESTIONS
Our greatest need is to be recognised – to be seen, loved, and embedded in rich relationships with the people around us. But for the last century, we’ve displaced that need with the ease of technology. We’ve dreamed of power that doesn’t require relationship and abundance that doesn’t require dependence. Yet even before a pandemic disrupted that quest, we felt threatened and strangely out of place. In The Life We’re Looking For, Andy Crouch shows us the way out of our impersonal world, into a world where knowing and being known is the heartbeat of our days, our households, and our economies. Where our human vulnerabilities are seen not as something to be escaped but the actual key to becoming who were made to be together. Where technology serves us rather than masters us – and helps us become more human, not less.

How was she going to pull off the biggest acting challenge imaginable – and would her memories ever return? Ghost Boy meets What Alice Forgot in this amazing true story of a woman who lost herself and tried to fight her way back on her own—but who found unexpected beauty in hope, faith, and second chances.
